Why the f$%! would you trust Microsoft to not break the law with medical data privacy laws here?

It isn't rational or ethical and any healthcare professionals who think it is are fooling themselves and putting others at risk for it.

“At Microsoft, we have long believed that AI has the incredible potential to free clinicians from much of the administrative burden in healthcare and enable them to refocus on taking care of patients,”

You know what would be easier, more efficient and significantly less expensive than dumping 100s of billions and nature obliterating amounts of energy into shitty AI assistants that will forever test the legal limits of how much private data they can steal and sell... to "solve" administrative burden?

Eliminating the private "healthcare" insurance industry

.

Microsoft maybe you could you use your AI to explain to your execs why the US wastes so much money and resources for so little benefit to patients??
